It depends on the type of strings you are using, the quality of the guitar and the gauge of the strings. If the strings are, say Ernie Ball, then there's no reason why unless one of the other answers apply. However, if they were cheap brands like Martin strings then the chances are that they weren't made to a good standard and will never sound right. My solution to this would be to buy some better strings such as Ernie Ball or Rotosound.
If the guitar's quality isn't great then it may be that the neck has warped or bent which means the strings will be touching the fretboard (that would also mean a buzzing noise and high action further down the fretboard) it will make a sort of banana shape if this is the case, to check look down the neck from the headstock, and then adjust the truss rod carefully.
If the strings are a heavier gauge than what you usually use, then it will have bent the neck, so adjust it accordingly, but if they are lighter than before then you'll have to adjust it the other way. Be careful if you're inexperienced at it, or you might snap/crack the neck.

Why does your guitar string ring after you restring it?
new string noise, some love it some hate it.. even after wikipedia and so on I couldn't get a straight answer , it goes away after a week and is probably due to the windings on the strings. I think guitar strings sound bright when new, because they are clean. As the strings get dirty, corroded the sound dulls. Washing your hands before playing and wiping down the strings after playing helps prolong their bright sound. Or if you buy coated strings (Elixir brand) they last a lot longer.

Can you put guitar strings on bass guitar l?
Although i ave never tried this myself, i would not recomend it. Firstly, basses are normally longer than standard guitars, so the strings might not fit. Secondly, it totally defeats the object of having a bass fi you're going to shove strings that would make it sound like a guitar on it.======= Even short-scale basses are usually at least 30 inches long, and regular basses are 34 inches. The grooves cut on the nut of a bass are too large for guitar strings, and bass bridges were not designed to hold down guitar strings. The string spacing of a bass is completely unsuitable for guitar-style playing.If you want a guitar with a bass feel, try a baritone guitar.

If someone plays guitar and no sound comes out are you plucking it too hard?
Well, that matters. If it's an acoustic guitar, and no sound comes out, that could never happen. But if it's an electric guitar you're talking about,either the amps not on, the volume is not up on the guitar or amp, or the cord that leads from the amp to the guitar input jack is bad. You should be able to hear a slight noise from an electric guitar even with the amp malfunctioning or switched off, since the strings do make slight vibrations in airspace anyway. Perhaps they have their hand or arm muting the strings?

When you first start to learn the guitar is it usual to break the strings?
Even the best break strings, they, like all things, wear out. If you are breaking many constantly, they made need to be changed. I change mine at least three times a year, more often when I am playing frequently.
